It's always about the money. In the case of the "deep state"/billionaire axis of evil, it's been going on since 1861.
Nonsense, there were plenty of Democrats with their hands in the Federal cookie jar long before & after 1861.
The only thing new in 1861, just as 2017, was Dims lost their privileged position at the government trough, and it made them madder 'n h*ll.
Nothing new here.
